The Supreme Court vacated Jeb Boasberg's orders banning the deportation of illegals covered by the Alien Enemies Act. But that's not the end of Boasberg's crusade to prove the Trump adm wrong.
Citing the wrong jurisdiction and the wrong measure of relief, the Supreme Court on Monday night vacated D.C. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg’s two temporary restraining orders prohibiting the immediate deportation of illegal Venezuelans tied to Tren de Aragua, a foreign terrorist organization according to the Trump administration.
In a 5-4 decision, the Court—with Amy Coney Barrett again siding with the three liberal harpies—determined it had limited authority to review President Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation, which permitted the removal of the suspected TdA illegals. Further, the Court concluded the ACLU lawyers representing the illegals should have filed habeas petitions in Texas, not a civil lawsuit in Washington, where the illegals had been and remain in U.S. custody.
All nine justices agreed the government must provide some level of due process for those subjected to the president’s AEA proclamation, which he signed on March 14 and was enacted on March 15: “[Today’s] order and per curiam confirm that the detainees subject to removal orders under the AEA are entitled to notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal. The only question is which court will resolve that challenge. For the reasons set forth, we hold that venue lies in the district of confinement.”
In a typically unhinged dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor accused the president of violating the terms of the AEA—“There is, of course, no ongoing war between the United States and Venezuela,” Sotomayor stated as if it’s within her authority to make such a determination—and of planning a “covert preparation to skirt both the requirements of the Act and the Constitution’s guarantee of due process.”

“SCOTUS Ruling In Deportation Case Is Too Little Too Late”

The penalty for being overturned by SCOTUS should be disbarment. Left wing judges like this fanatic would think twice before giving up their cushy life time jobs.

Such a horrid judicial abuse of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
He should face a firing squad for treason and insurrection. Nobody elected this twerp to anything, let alone the presidency. He’s attempting a coup.
Get em on a plane now!
Boy, if this wasn’t Judge shopping, I’ll eat my burger...
While Barrett is an absolute tragedy I am pretty disappointed that all 9 feel that illegal invaders are entitled to some level of due process. We will never get rid of them if they all get days in court. Not to mention they will keep trying to come here if they think they have “rights”.
Comments BUMP!

Definitely judge shopping. The left had a plan. The plan was to have Boasberg rule in their favor and the leftist District Court to affirm. They were confident that a majority of SCOTUS justices (Roberts and Barrett plus the lefties) would be sufficiently anti-Trump (no matter the issue) that they would turn away the case (to let the process play out) and let the lower court’s ruling stand.
It didn’t happen that way. Their great plan fell apart. I’m confident the Trump administration can find a way around the parts of the ruling that weren’t favorable to them. The main thing is that the “ball” is no longer in Boasberg’s court. In his arrogance, he may think it is, but it’s not.
Also, for reference, here is a litigation tracker to track all the cases filed against the Trump administration.

This may come in handy when trying to differentiate one case from another.

You’re known by the company you keep, Amy.
Thanks very much for the tracker link.
Amy should stay home and bake cookies. Women should not be on the Supreme Court or should be limited to just one. They are designed by God to have a soft heart which has no place on the Supreme Court where HARD decisions have to be made and executed.
